PROGRAM

ESL

GENY’s specialized English as a Second Language (ESL) program consists of six levels. Each new student is required to take an English placement test that will determine which level would be most appropriate for him or her. Though our classes emphasize communicative competence, GENY’s ESL courses are taught in a way that encourages competency in all areas: listening, reading, speaking, and writing.

Comprehensive GENY’s monthly assessment quizzes allow students to advance based on their individual progress thus allowing students to personalize their education. On average, students spend approximately 3 months in each level, but students are encouraged to learn at their own pace.

Elective and skills classes For the morning program, GENY offers a variety of elective classes. In these classes, students can choose an English skill to focus on. Students select which elective class they would like to take every month. For afternoon and evening students, skills classes change every month, allowing students to study these skills (reading & vocabulary, listening & speaking, and grammar & writing) for 1 month each.

Tutoring sessions After class students can participate in one of our tutoring sessions. Tutoring sessions provide students with the opportunity to further practice their speaking skills with a native English speaker.
